From an early age I watched my grandfather and the older family members play their guitars, fiddles and banjos at our family and friend gatherings. I yearned to be able to join them but was too young.
As I grew I struggled to teach myself to play guitar by ear. I was determined to recapture my grandfathers music I so loved from my youth.
I have not been fortunate enough to aquire any formal training. I have had my serious devotion and determination to play guitar the best I could by ear and aquired some chord knowledge along the way. I am always looking for the “Lost Chord”.
I would like to improve my guitar playing and knowledge not to be a super star, but for the enjoyment of all those lives that I now touch. .
My grandfather and my elder family members are all gone now.
I would like to enhance my knowledge of music therefore improving my guitar playing as a tribute to the ones who inspired me and for the young children I now inspire.
